Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan will soon adopt a law on bringing to administrative and criminal responsibility those who entrust teachers with work not related to their duties, said the head of the sector for communications and information policy of the Executive Office of the Administration President Said Mirziyoyev. The relevant bill has already been developed and will be adopted in the near future.

“Unfortunately, for many years the teachers teaching our children were powerless, defenseless, and their work was devalued. They were used as gardeners, janitors, waiters serving committees who came to school, “extras” filling empty halls at boring events, forced subscribers to printed publications, night attendants and school security guards,” she wrote in her Telegram channel.

“The time has come to end this state of affairs. After all, if we do not elevate the honor and dignity of the Teacher, we will not be able to achieve anything,” Saida Mirziyoyeva said.

According to Saida Mirziyoyeva, today there is a huge problem in Uzbekistan - teachers are involved in work not related to their professional duties. So, for example, they guard the school for free instead of security guards, go from apartment to apartment and collect data on residents, clean the school grounds, do landscaping and other things.
